2016-17 Coaching Carousel

thanks... ;)


FGCU wins yet another CHAMPIONSHIP!!! and automatic to bid the to NCAA - congrats to KK!
Amazing - for a team that had littleNCAA history prior to Kavanagh getting there...
now in the Ken Kavanagh era they have accomplished an NCAA men's basketball appearance THREE times since 2013 and they have a winning record in NCAA games (3-2)
They also have an NIT appearance in 2014 so they've been to the post-season FOUR of the last 5 years under KK.
Flat out amazing what he has done for their athletic success.


They have only been DI for 9 years and they have won
57 regular season conference championships and tournament championships! FIFTY-SEVEN in just over 9 years.

They have only been NCAA eligible for post-season play for FIVE years and yet have, now, 17 NCAA appearances!! (and counting individual appearances in tennis - it's 25!)

I wonder if their fans are constantly grumbling and bitc*ing about the other teams at the bottom of their conference? ;)
